I’m a 16 and have SOOOOOO much trouble finding bottoms that don’t ride up or fall down!! Also… tops.. I’m a busty C/D girl and need some decents tops that are not t-shirts.. As a plus woman I want to be JUST as stylish as the skinny woman out there…..There is a HUGE market for stylish pole clothes and NO ONE has them!!! HINT HINT…
girl I AM SOOOO WITH YOU! I agree 100%, I have 2 huge boobs and cant find any fun and cute stuff. Im tellin ya, I vote for a Queen line! I have a sewing machine but its been a very long time ive sewn anything and having not worked with the fabrics that are needed to make those items dont help either. The only thing I sew now is badges for my daughters Girl Scout uniform! LOL!

You know I ask myself that as well. I have 2 (6 and almost 2), thier activities (mostly the oldest – Girl Scouts and Hockey), my full time job, and trying find time for my friends and the occasional date with my husband (I use occasional very loosely), then train for the comp im in, take pole class. Ugh, theres only so many hours in a day!

Chem – I like the exercise! Ive been doing those crunches the other way (elvated bench but my feet are up in the air), to get my body used to being like that. Im gonna add that to my list of things to do at the gym.

Ive been wearing 6 inchers pretty much as long as ive started pole. I started with a cone heel and got down to the skinny heels. I really want a pair of 7.5 inchers. Im 5’4 so I look for anything to get some height on me.

from my understanding she has shot the DVD already. At first we hear summer but then Ive got no idea. I want that DVD too!

REV 22:20 by Puscifer is one of the hottest songs, lol… I love that song so much and I have yet to make a video to it because I just feel like I can’t even live up to the song. I would require that video to be perfection… *sigh*. I don’t mind most of the rock songs to be overplayed, especially anything with Maynard singing. I would not be opposed to having Maynard’s musical genius babies, that’s for sure. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
OMG I totally agree! I have downloaded the other 2 versions as well. I love how the lyrics are the same but the music can create a totally different tone. Dry Martini – gives it a very sexy feel, Original (the one they used for Underworld) – has a hard feel, like shes literally going to eat you alive, and the Saw remix – has a very dark edgy feel.
Serzi – I agree on this with you, I really want to do Pet instead. I totally agree with you on Lullby
#3. COUNTING BODIES LIKE SHEEP (to the rhythm of the war drums) by A Perfect Circle –http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HrEWYeUzDA
This one has been used in more performances, competitions and otherwise, than just about any song I’ve ever heard. I think it is because it has a tempo that works well while dancing either fast or slow, it keeps each step in time, it’s powerful, sexy, and leaves plenty of room to improvise creatively. Personally, I prefer the original "Pet" to this remix but that’s mainly because it was the first version I heard and I like the heavier guitar riffs. Also, I own the album Thirteenth Step and when I play "Pet" there is a song it leads into called "Lullaby" that is great for cooling down.
I have to thank my husband for introducing me to APC, Tool, Puscfier and Slipknot. My brother had the Mer de Noms album so I knew about Judith and 3 Libras. 3 Libras is what I plan to use for Ms Xpose for one of my routines. Im more of an APC fan than Tool.
One that may become overplayed is Snuff by Slipknot. I did a video to it almost a year ago and Karol performed it at USPDF ECR. Her performance was downright AMAZING!!!! I was blown away from her style. I think Slipknot has some great songs and some that my husband calls difficult to pole to (damnit I am determined to dance to The Heretic Anthem!).
I do try to find some out of the box ones – Johnny Cash anyone???

MemberNovember 4, 2010 at 2:15 pm in reply to: Racheal Ray talks about poling accidentSerzi brings up alot of good points. I have not met a stripper who danced barefoot (en pointe – yes!), yet we all know they were the big heels. He went to an adult club and hes an adult (or his age makes him an adult), that doesnt mean he needs to get all childish. I agree with Veena, im so tired of the world being so sue happy. I heard some where there are 3 ways people think they are going to get rich – 1. inheritance 2. winning the lottery and 3. SUEING SOMEONE https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif

shes reddoing the website. She now has a customer service rep as well helping her out. Her official launch on the new site is 11/30. They are adding items bit by bit for now.

I dont know if Crayola still makes them or not, but they used to make markers that you would write on windows. They would be perfect for mirrors. I had some and my mom decorated our living room window for my birthday one year. They got there fair share of abuse in our home.

Like Chemmie said, start with a chunkier heel. Cone heel, quarter heel. Where I go, we must wear those types of shoes in the studio for saftey reasons. Then work your way up to what you want.
I currently wear a pair of Ellie’s with a thinner heel and fish in them (I wanted something cheeky and fun). IMO, if they have the plastic ankle strap and foot base (like a ‘My First Stripper Shoe’), I would get a size down since the plastic does swell after repeat wears. If they are a pvc, fabric or anything but the plastic, I would order in your normal street shoe size.
Im currenty eyeing down a pair of Pleasers from the Bond Girl collection. They are 7.5 inchers and I would love to wear them for a particular song I want to do.

I will be checking out this site.
Trust me I have my days just like anyone else. Some days I feel like im the skinny chick but then I see my photos and all I can see is my dreaded repeat C-section pouch. I swear I dont remember my body before kids.
I know I wont have flat abs but being close will work with me.

*adds foam roller to Xmas list* I saw that on the site and thought it would be good to try out.

Talk to Joel at Mighty Grip. He may be able to offer a suggestion or replace them.

An X Stage is 200lbs. But it comes in 3 bags, the heaviest bag is the base at 87lbs, then the pie pieces for the stage (2 bags per stage – each one has 3 pieces), then the bag for the pole. Once youve got it up, its sturdy as anything. I borrowed 4 of them from Jessalynn for my Battle, and I had to put them back into my moms garage ALONE! Yep, I hauled 800lbs of pole! Learned my lesson!
I personally reccomend having a 2nd person with you when lugging it. The base bag does have wheels. But then again it could be your warm up getting the stage out and picked up. If I had the room, I would totally buy one.
-
Ive held one, does that count! They were selling them at USPDF ECR. They are nice and I would love to have one. I think you can buy it from the USPDF site and the NYPD site. Those pictures are breathtaking!

Welcome!!! Im near Baltimore so we are a bit close to each other!

I pretty much asked for g/c to House of Pole and Bad Kitty’s Pole Fit line. I also asked for shoes and a pole. I think everything on my list is pole related. But me being the mom that I am, I asked for $ first to get ahead on the bills, but if they want to buy something – heres the list.
Im having a pole themed Xmas!

Great example – im working on my Miss Xpose stuff. One of my songs is ‘The Sound of Madness’ by Shinedown. It has some counts of 8 (yep former dancer its just how im trained), then the music speeds up after they lyric is ‘watch your back’. I figured I start with the foot stomp in beat w/the music, then some hip divets, walk and pirouettes and get the momentuem to do a BIG reverse grab to go with the beat.
One song ive been tinkering with is Gently by Slipknot, it starts very slow. I thought about slow and controlled movements. About halfway through the song, it goes into the traditional Slipknot style and goes fast, thats when I really bust out the tricks.
Sometimes I have a song I like to pole to but the choreography doesnt come to me for quite some time. Ive been wanting to dance to 3 Libras by A Perfect Circle for years and now the choreography hit me one day.
-
What I do is listen to the music and start from there. Some points of the song scream certain moves, and I just work around them. 90% of the time I Choreograph when im away from my pole (most of the time in the car) and just bring it in the studio and play around it.

Ive had my splits since I was a kid but I wanted a deeper stretch and be able to lift my back leg and be able to rub my heel in my hair. stretching for oversplits has improved my spilts much more.

Thank you! I want to stick with a multi piece because I need it to fit different room heights. I think I may just go with the X-pole and if they don’t come out with brass in the next little bit I will settle for titanium gold.
TG will be good for you. We were both taught on brass (EnglishMuffin and I are both Xpose clients. Shes now an instructor) so it should be good. Im a big fan of chrome. Everytime ive tried chrome ive sticked really nicely to it.

The very few times ive done spin, ive spotted. Again, just like you I danced and was taught how to spot while turning. I dont have crazy spin skills, but its alot of fun!
